You've never seen hot air balloons like this before. A couple weeks ago, Albuquerque, New Mexico held its 42nd annual International Balloon Fiesta. It's a 9-day event where over 700 balloons see liftoff. It's the largest hot air balloon festival in the entire world and we were on hand to capture the action.

This was shot on location by Roadtrippers' own traveling photographer Joel Schat. He's travels North America capturing all the amazingly beautiful things that can be found on the road. Find more pictures and timelapses from Joel on his website.

@Sandra.klessen....I do believe this article is about the Balloon Fiesta. Why would you imagine they would mention Indians?
@Greg Newkirk.....she is correct in saying Indians. Anyone born in the U.S. is a Native American.

Not 1 mention of the INDIANS! Like the Ind.Pueblo Cultural Center, or the 19 Feast Days!!
The Spanish & Anglos stole Everything from these people: land, gold & silver, even their own religions!
Now some tribes have casinos, but that's only to regain some of what they lost...
